Braylon Edwards Headed to the New York Jets

Time to pack your bags Braylon.

As of this morning, Braylon Edwards has been traded to the New York Jets. The Jets have given the Cleveland Browns LB Jason Trusnik, WR Chansi Stucky, and undisclosed draft picks for Edwards. The draft picks are thought to be a third and fifth round. Trusnik is a special teams player (for the most part). The terms of the deal are still being finalized.

The trade comes just after the recent new issue with Braylon Edwards. Braylon supposedly punched one of LeBron James' friends outside of a night club. The league is still investigating, but Browns head coach Mangini was supposed to be investigating the issue as well.

Apparently his investigation is over.

Braylon is no stranger to trouble during his time in Cleveland. On the night of Donte Stallworth's "incident" in which a pedestrian was struck and killed, Braylon was with Donte Stallworth prior to the incident. He helped provide the booze.

Braylon has also had a lot of issues with the fans of the Browns, saying publicly that they dislike him because he went to Michigan for college.

The trade raises many questions to Browns fans though. For one, who is going to be the starting receiver?

The only receivers on the roster after the trade are: Josh Cribbs, Mike Furrey, Ray Ventrone, and rookies Mohamed Massaquoi and Brian Robiskie. And now Chansi Stuckey.

Stuckey has 11 receptions, 120 yards, and 1 touchdown on the year so far. Last year, Stuckey had 32 receptions for 352 yards and 3 touchdowns with Favre throwing to him.

Massaquoi had an impressive game last week against the Bengals, but he is still a rookie and not yet considered a legitimate starting receiver. The situation may prove beneficial to Josh Cribbs who is still seeking a contract with better money.

Another question to ask, is what team is Mangini coaching? The Browns or the Jets?

Mangini has done a lot of trading while with Cleveland, but most, if not all of it with his old team the New York Jets. And depending on the draft picks Cleveland gets, it could really turn out to be in the Jets favor.

However, the deal seems to work very well for both sides. Cleveland gets a fairly decent receiver in Chansi Stuckey. Trusnik is a very good Special Teams player. He had two forced fumbles in his game against the Titans this year.

The draft picks make the deal though. A third and a fifth are probably a little low compared to what most Cleveland fans wanted. Personally, I think a second round and fourth/fifth would have been ideal and could have been achieved.
